I started reading 'The Grapes of Wrath' by John Steinbeck again. Then I realized that the whole story was a comic book comedy compared to what the Germans went through before, during, and after WW2. It seams that anything you hold up to what the allies put the Germans through turns out to be a picnic. The victims of the great depression in the U.S. weren't fired bombed, their daughters raped and killed by the thousands, chased by armies with bayonets and tanks, and everthing else that the allies put the Germans through.
